“We believe the world will continue to embrace contactless technology as we emerge from the global pandemic, with mobile passes being a key deployment enabler. Mobile passes use the same highly secure infrastructure as Apple Pay and Google Pay and can be used to store critical exchangeable data in your phone, such as vaccination status, loyalty status and customer status. The SocketScan S550 contactless reader securely requests the appropriate data from your phone via the mobile pass mechanism with a simple tap, and your phone can ensure your identity is fully verified before your data is exchanged,” says Kevin Mills, President and CEO of Socket Mobile Inc.

SpringCard SAS has over 20 years of core contactless reading technology and is recognized as a leader in the contactless field. SpringCard SAS technology is used in many applications associated with traditional contactless cards, such as those supporting smart cities, health, mass distribution, retail, transport, logistics, access control, traceability, loyalty programs, storage and inventory, micro-payment, authentication, and others. SpringCard SAS is also a leader in the emerging mobile pass market delivering fully compatible Apple VAS and Google Wallet solutions. The combination of SpringCard SAS contactless technology and Socket Mobile’s data capture solutions opens a multitude of new use cases and previously impossible interactions.
